You don't need Humanism. I went Admin -> Religious in my game and as I said before had three non-event rebellions and used harsh treatment three to four times maximum. The best thing to do is just liberally increasing local autonomy in freshly conquered provinces, to off-set nationalism. Overall I've found the benefits of no rebellions far out-weight the added income. And I haven't been slow on expansion, either - although a lot of the early stuff was done by vassals.

I think many people just lower autonomy without thinking about the consequences and end up in a troubled situation. Autonomy isn't like coring a newly province. Coring is a must & you should do it ASAP, while autonomy can wait for some time in most cases.
